Bottle … Fantômepalooza 2011… Ok, so it’s not as neon green as the picture to the left, but it is a murky, key-lime ale with a small, creamy, white head. Good retention. The nose is dusty and musty with strong, herbal, green tea notes. Medium to full-bodied and milky with active carbonation. The flavor is lightly acidic and herbal. Moderately sweet. Finishes mildly tart and lightly bittersweet. Thanks to Beerlando for sharing this beauty!

Pours a fluorescent slime green color that’s reminiscent of ecto cooler with a thin white head that quickly fades not a thin ring. Minimal lacing.
Very earthy and funky aroma with lots of barnyard must/horsey notes along with some earthy oak and a mineral/vegetal tea leaf presence. The green tea compliments the funky yeast very well, resulting in a very unique aroma.
Light bodied with a ton of earthy funk and green tea flavor. Not sour but musty and earthy with hints of straw, wet hay and grass and funky bugs. This is nicely complimented by the herbal/mineral green tea presence, creating a very odd, yet very flavorful, funky beer. Unlike anything I’ve had before.

Pours hazy dull green that’s a little yellowish (far cry from the bright green color in the picture shown here). The head is white with a touch of green to it. The aroma is very herbal, minty with some lemon, light funk, spicy and clean. Medium body that’s fuller on the finish and has really nice gentle mouth filling carbonation. The flavor starts with heavy herbal and citrus traits, tart apple, gentle spices and saison yeasty funk. The finish has some warming abv, herbal notes, citrus and a bit of tea peeking through. Really nice and enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours light green (spectacular!). The aroma has a lot more sourness to it, compared with the taste. Taste is sweet like candy, with a small earthy (from the tea?) dryness in the finish. Quite strange.
